The view from the summit is breathtaking for such a small mountain. Weather permitting, you'll probably come across people paragliding or gliding. The trail itself is non-existent; it's more of a road through maple groves and private land. The summit is a blast! Beautiful views of the surrounding area.
Mount Yamaska was formed some 125 million years ago by an underwater eruption of magma. This magma did not penetrate the earth's surface and has a deep fig. The hill was formed when glaciers eroded the surrounding sedimentary rock, which is more fragile than the metamorphic rock formed by the contact of magma and sedimentary rock.
